FPA Governing Board Mtg Agenda 2_2_2012

This promises to be a fun-filled adult-only night (Guys, a great way to celebrate Valentine’s Day in an exciting and creative way!), so get your friends ready to compete for great prizes and enjoy each other’s company.

If you like trivia, watching jeopardy, playing games with friends, or just like competing for prizes; then Trivia Night is for you.

The night will be filled with fun, food, trivia, and the opportunity to purchase great auction items. We are reserving tables of 8 adults for $80 or individual seats for $10.  You may currently reserve a table/seat by contacting the front office (Click here for contact info)

This event is sponsored by the sustainable fundraising committee and is a fun and easy way to generate additional funds towards our fundraising goals.

WHY A TRIVIA NIGHT?

Trivia Nights are a new successful venue in fundraising that is sweeping the nation. This is Freedom’s opportunity to be the first to introduce Trivia Night in this area. Trivia night originated in the Midwest where organizations have been raising substantial funds by simply having fun!

We will discuss the FPA mission, school culture of success, programs, activities, plans for our high school and specifically the new 9th grade.  We will be giving tours of the school and viewing some of the students’ projects.

Call the front office for more information: 801-437-3100

FPA is expanding…and so is our website!

Eight years ago a handful of volunteers created our first website.  We thank those who created it and have maintained it over the years–it has served us well.  With our expansion to K-12 it was time to expand our technological horizons.  Subscribe to the Google Calendar, follow us on Twitter @FPAnews, come back often as we will continue to add and improve the site in the coming months.

Take a look around and let us know what you think!
